Getting There
-
Bus
From San Miguel, head to the main bus terminal, which is located on Avenida Roosevelt. Look for the buses that head to La Unión or El Cuco. These buses typically leave every hour during the day. Make sure to ask the driver if they go to 'El Cuco' as some may only go to La Unión. The ride will take approximately an hour and a half. Once you arrive in El Cuco, you can ask the locals for directions to the beach, which is about a 10-15 minute walk from the bus stop.
-
Shared Taxi (Colectivo)
You can also take a shared taxi (colectivo) from San Miguel to El Cuco. Head to the main taxi stand, usually near the bus terminal, and ask for a colectivo to El Cuco. These taxis are more expensive than the bus but can be more comfortable and faster. The colectivo will take you directly to El Cuco in about an hour. Once you arrive, simply ask the driver to drop you off at the beach.
